Three pipe bombs found in New Jersey and two IEDs that terrorized New York City on Saturday all have one thing in common - cell phones.

An old-school flip phone was used as a timer in all five home-made bombs.

Authorities said they still have not found any indication the incidents in New Jersey and New York are related, but in both cases flip phones were used as timers to detonate the explosives.

All phones used as detonators were similar in design, according to PIX 11.

And this comes as CNN claimed to have seen video which places the same man at 23rd and 27th streets in Manhattan - where one bomb detonated and another pressure cooker device failed to detonate.
